Bauhaus Ballet

　　二十世初期，簡約實用的包浩斯設計，帶來一股現代狂潮，落實在設計界、建築與藝術圈中。其中經典的三人芭蕾(Triadic Ballet)讓人印象深刻，深受設計師喜愛。其古怪的裝扮，透過幾何表現整體律動感。時而怪異，卻又和諧的美學，讓人驚嘆不已。
 
　　巧妙結合紙張設計，讓讀者深度理解最前衛的舞蹈規律。
 
　　看舞者如何跳躍與旋轉，還有踢出自我的美學理念。誇張的配色，規矩的線條，與魔幻的堆疊延展。由知名插畫家萊絲莉(Lesley Barne)親手操刀，大膽地顛覆讀者想像。搭配兒童文學作家嘉比(Gabby Dawnay)的文字創作，創造驚豔又好玩的立體書。
 
　　翻開每一頁都是感動，也是完美的故事。

Reviews

＂Writer Gabby Dawnay and illustrator Lesley Barnes have produced a scintillating thing using geometric patterns, restrained colours and cunning paper engineering. Chunks of sparse text loop around the images, mimicking the shifting steps of a dance.＂ - Financial Times

＂If you have somebody in your life that likes Bauhaus or design and architecture in general, this book will instill a great deal of joy. Fans of pop-up books and papercraft will love it too.
